MrMig Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Any of you guys around this week at all? I got 1 week left then im off for 5 weeks travelling Quote
Cafe.Racer Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Hi you Warwickshire lot - we're off camping near Bidford this weekend, and I noticed that Bidford Common has been used for buggying. What's it like for buggying right now? Is it likely to be busy over a bank holiday weekend? Quote
braddels Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 well i just looked out of the window and from across the river it seems that the meadow has been mowed. there is a fairly strong wind coming across the field, not in the best direction but the trees might be messing with it. if you get there at an ok time you should be able to fly, parking isnt free sadly so either park in the budgens car park (dont worry you wont get clamped cos we dont actually have a clmaping liesence and the car park is alwasy open) and walk with all you kit down to the meadow or pay the £3 or £4 it will be to park. so assuming it stays like this, it should be a nice weekend what time and days are you gunna be down? Quote
Cafe.Racer Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Dunno, setting off tomorrow, family camping (at the cottage) with a big group of non-kiting friends. Packing up on Monday. Was hoping to sneak off at some point, IF I can hide the buggy in the trailer amongst the camping stuff... Quote
braddels Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 well according to the met office saturday and sunday are 14/15mph with 27/28 mph gusts. i say sneak the buggy in Quote
Tjah1087 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 was down there tonight. wind is really inconsistant. nice mowed grass though. Quote
Cafe.Racer Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, I went up Sunday morning until "rain stopped play". Nice local location, wind was SW so I stuck myself up near the hedge where that funny circular weed patch is. It's a nice little location, £2 all day parking isn't bad, especially as there's toilets and stuff for the kids, picnic benches and quite a few people setting up BBQ's. I bet it's cracking in a SE wind... I did suffer from people randomly driving/walking right through the middle bit, but I just get them a few minutes to bugger off and it was fine. If anyone finds my sunglasses, I wouldn't mind them back Quote
Tjah1087 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 ENE is cracking as I recall. were you flying a red bullet? drove past on way to see family at abou 6.30... Quote
braddels Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Posted September 3, 2009 £2 for parking is cheaper than usual if i recall, i got charged at least £3 last time which i thought was a rip off. i didnt see any kites down there when i was walking to work just before 8 Quote
smudge837 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 hi guy's. new to your area. just moved to kineton and looking for a place to buggy or board. still a novice but enjoy a good blast. i was looking at burton-daset, bifg hill lots of wind. good for landboard not good for buggy n kite. any locations would help. cheers Quote
braddels Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 im not too sure about that part of warwickshire mate. EKS is good but a slight trek, bidford is OKAY for buggying and boarding but footballers tend to take over on weekends but its about a 30min drive from kineton so might be a bit far. sorry i cant help more Brad Quote
Rushmore Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I live in Leamington Spa But fly up at Airbossworld.. An hours drive but I do it 3 times a week its that good! Quote

Chris L Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 can you buggy at bidford ? Yes..not that much room, but better than nothing. Best wind South or South East Quote

davo23 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Not sure if this thread is still active. I live in warwick, but have been flying in coventry for just over a year Quote
peplow Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 hi guys does anyone still buggy/board in bidford im just getting into buggying had a go at kempsey but would like a local spot as i live in inkberrow. whats the dog crap situation like at biford? Quote
skratman Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Hi - I live in Mickleton (about halfway between Evesham and Stratford, and about 15 min from Bidford). Just got a kite (Crossfire 4.0) and if anyone fancies meeting up for a fly let me know. Still a newbie myself, so bear with me, and Im old. Really old. but if you can live with that give me a shout. Wanting to get a buggy once Ive figured out the characteristics of this kite, and given that we dont get much surf in the cotswolds. email is steveskarr@hotmail.com if you want to get in touch. Cheers Quote
